A LIVELY VOLCANO.

The Intense Heat Keeps Curiously In
clined Parties at Distance.
TOMBSTONE, ARR, June 2.-Senor Campo,
who has just arrived from Nacosari, states
that authentic news has reached Oposura
that at the time of the first earthquake a
volcano broke out ON the Chihuahua side of
the Sierra Madre mountains near Piedras
Verles, and about thirty miles west of
Casas Grandes. Different parties, number
ing some thirty persons in all, have gone
from Casas Graudes to inspect the volcano,
but owing 60 the intense heat they have been
unable to approach nearer than within three
miles of the mass of molten lava, which
pours down the mountain side,
and which is estimated TO extend
fully ten miles from the crater of the vol
cano. Dense volumes of smoke are emitted
by day and night, and the glare by night
from the burning mountain is visible for
long distances Gov. Torres, of Sonora, has
directed that party be sent from Oposura
to inspect and report upon the phenomenon.
A slight shock of earthquake was felt here
Monday and another at 2 O'Clock Tuesday
morning.

A DANGEROUS QUESTION.
FRANCES NEW CABINET STILL ON
a PRECARIoUS FOOTING.

Heavy Opposition to NJ. Rouvier on the
Left - Entrenchment Proposed - A
Doubtful Scheme for Revenue-Dis-
inclination to Discuss the Army Bill
The Paris Relief Fund.
LONDON, June 2.-The Paris press COM
ments indicate that in the Left groups there
are $50 Deputies solid against NJ. Rouvier,
and, therefore, that he will be unable to in
crease his Republican majority of eleven
and any measure that would ALLEVIATE the
support of the Right would make the Cabi-
nets existence precarious. NJ Rouvier
hopes to effect the retrenchment of
from sixty to eighty million
francs from the estimates of the Ministers
of War Marine and Public Works He
also hopes to gain 100000 francs by the
establishing of a revenue police to repress
the practice of domestic distilling which is
extensively prevalent in Normandy. The
success of the scheme is doubtful as the
NormanD equities will refuse to support any
measure likely to deprive them of their
seats.
THE ARMY BILL CONSIDERED.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Bishop
Freppel moved that the debate on the army
bill be postponed until the next session.
The question was q dangerous one, he said.
from foreign point of view, and France
should not exhibit the weakness of the army
now while under the full work of reorgari-
ization. Premier Rouvier declined to al
low any postponement of the debate.
He said that the government
intended to maintain the measure as neceS-
sity in the interest and for the honor of the
country Applause from the Left and
Centred The motion was rejected by vote
of 446 to co.
PARIS RELIEF FUND.
The fund for the relief of the sufferers by
the Opera Conique fire now amounts to
900 francs.
PARIS SENSATIONAL RUMOR.
PARIS, June 2.-It is lumored that in the
Chamber of Deputie son Tuesday last M.
Clemenceau snubbed Gen Ferron, the new
Minister Of War, who, he said, formerly
stigmatized the promoters of the Tonuuin
scheme as criminals and now entered their
service. Gen. Ferron, according to the
rumor, thereupon assured M. Clemenceau
that the government would order the evacu-
alton of Tonquin. The moderate news
papers call upon Gen. Ferron to contradict
the story.
RoTELLTS APPOINTMENT APPROVED.
ROME, June 2.-The French government
has telegraphed to the Vatican approving
the appointment of Mgr Roteli as the
Papal Nuncio at Paris. Mgr. Rotelli has
been instructed to endeavor to restore the
amity between France and the Vatican.

away to call an extra session of the next
Congress for October, and so informed his
Coh az x.-tfl
President will not call an extra session of
the next Congress unless it Is absolutely
necessary. He does not wish 10 do it at all
Nothing but a necessity, growing out of the
financial condition of the country would
move him to bring the next Congress here
before December. He talked it all over
with Secretary Fairchild before he went
away, and came to the CON
clusion that whatever the future
might bring, there was no such necessity in
the present. The President will probably
wait until the end Of next month before con-
sidering the question again. BY that time
the effect of the contraction of the circula-
tion consequent upon the accumulation of
the surplus revenue will begin to be appa-
rent.
A TARIFF REDUCTION.
One thing may be regarded as certain in
this connection, and that is, that the admin
istration is opposed to the proposed pur-
chase of the 4 1-2 per cents. of 1891 in
anticipation of their maturity II will
suggest to Congress whenever it meets re-
duction of the tariff tax as the best means
of reducing the revenue in very much the
same recommendations as we're sent to Con-
gress last year. Both the President and
Secretary Fairchild believe in reducing the
duties on necessaries and the raw materials
of the npceSSariaS first Roth fhinl that the
first reduction should be in the war taxes on

A GEORGIA CYCLONE.
Heavy Damages in Campbell County
But No Lives Lost.

VI
But No Lves Lost.
FAIRBURN, GA, June "A terrible cy-
clone passed few miles south of this place
between and $ o'clock last night,
carrying destruction in its path. Crossing
the railroad about one mile below Palmetto,
it took southeasterly direction, tearing
down the gin house Of Mrs. Healden and
scattering the timber in its course in every
direction, Reaching the plantation of Mrs.
Collingsworth ii swept away the dwelling
and outhouses, but, luckily, injuring no one
Next in It's course was Mrs. Hudson's, where
it tore away the dwellings, outhouses and
fences, but harIning no one. At the planta-
ton of T. s. Jenkins are the most fearful
evidences of its work. The house, a
large, one-story building, was literally
torn to pieces and scattered for some dis
tance around, even blowing down the rock
pillars upon which IL rested. But, strange
to say, not one of the family, some six or
seven in number, were hurt, with the ex-
ception of few slight bruises, notwith-
standing the fact that they were blown i'm
different directions from 80 to 100 feet
from the house. The next place in its path
was the crossroads, where IL blew down
every house, four or five in number, and
three ladies barely escaped with the lives.
The house which they occupied was blown
down and scattered for half mile. The
ladies happened TO be in a portion Of the
house where there were two or three
barrels and they protected them from the
falling timbers. About one half mile fur
ther it swept away a comparatively new
church, known as 1.-THE Rock" as il il had
been but feather.
Upon reaching this point il seems to have
spent itself, as no damage was done any

which ruined great deal of cotton and
